  Speaker 1: So it's all kind of all kinds of good things
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: that could happen from you submitting. But we're doing some
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: outreach also to hr pros talent acquisition people reminded him
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and introduced them to the idea of the show and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: all that, so it'd be good. All right. So I've
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: got a couple here today, and I think you guys
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: have got a couple of pieces. All right. The guy
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: who photoshopped his way out of a job.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Oh this is not starting off great.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, this one still cracks me up. We had an
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: applicant send in his driver's license expired, No big deal,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: happens all the time. So we ask him for an
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: updated one and he sends us the same license back. Okay,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: except he had literally photoshop the exploration day like badly,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: like middle school PowerPoint kind of bad. So now we're curious.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: This is so, now we're curious. Then his references come
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: in and every one of them is faked. Uh, And
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: then just to really go for it. His background check
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: shows an active warrant. Oh it's everything. The entire wheels
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: are coming on in this particular one. When we ask
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: about it, he says, oh, no, no, that's not real. That
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: was in a different state, and that's it's all cleared
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: up now. And so to prove it, he sends us
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a receipt of for something he's paid. This thing looked
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: like it was made with a fake government seal from
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Google images, so clearly he puts together a fakeer seat
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: that he's paid this.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Did they forget his real license?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: That's what we finally called it quits. The best part
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: this wasn't even a dream job, Like he could have
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: just moved on and applied somewhere else, but nope, he
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: doubled down on the photoshop until the bidder end.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: My thing, yeah, my thing is, how did he think
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: if if it didn't work with the license the first time?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what made him think it was going to work
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the year.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: They didn't confront him, like, they just like, I don't know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you just keep strigging them along. Yeah, now what I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: don't know? The fake references. I think I would have
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: tapped out then you didn't have to.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like why.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: From the background check.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know why they even took a step further.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Maybe they were just curious.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah they're there. You know, we talk about this all
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the time. But those reddit those whole reddit streams, yeah,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you know where they're just talking about how to do it,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and you see them shop your photoshop your degree, people
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: photos on their degrees all it's crazy. I think we
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: had one one time where we verified the degree found
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: out it wasn't real, and one of one of our
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: verifiers noticed that the it was from like fifteen years ago.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But the president who signed the degree was the current
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: president of the university. So who was the president who
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: was supposed to sign up fifteen years ago? This person's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: been there like two years.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Y'all are too allowsy to do, like.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Really bad when you can't even fake yeah you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: fake that good.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: So what's funny to me is how confident they are
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: and thinking they're not gonna get it right.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Well, they do a lot of congratulations, I got this
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: all right. So the marketing director who took PTO for jail.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Time, why why?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, this one's wild. So at one point of my
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: old job, the marketing team had the marketing team. I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: don't understand the marketing team. Okay, I get it. I
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: had a pool of cars, of company cars, you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: for client meetings, events, you know all that. Every once
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: in a while, management would get a random parking ticket
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in the mail. You know, it's no big deal. Stuff happens, right,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: But one day a ticket shows up. It's for the weekend,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and that's when everyone goes, Hold up, who's driving the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: company cars on a Saturday?
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Literally?
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: What driving all the way there just to use the
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: company car?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Driving all the way to work on Saturday?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: The company the company's ford tourists literally nicer than your car.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe I didn't even think about that. I didn't leave
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: with it on Friday. I can't even got it on Saturday.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: After a little digging, turns out the marketing director took
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: one home, got pulled over and got a d UI
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: in the company car. The car gets impounded. He goes
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to jail. And here's here's the part that broke me.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: He used this PTO to cover the week he was lone.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: What well, how did he submit his PTO? Is what
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I want to know. They asked him if to watch
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: his one phone call the phone real quick instead of
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: his one phone call. He said, can I please submit my.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: They'll never know?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah what like like man said out of office literally and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: even even paid the impound fee to get the car
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: to get the car back, but he never actually paid
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the ticket, which is what exposed to be in the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: first place. So you know, he almost got away from
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: We see all the time, like six out of ten
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: people will not tell their employer if they're arrested, right,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: So that's why we say we should be an example
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: of this monitory. You know, they wouldn't have had to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: worry about this. And wonder he was that week. If
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: they had been monitored, they'd have found out.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I know he was mad. He was like, dang, I
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: can use my PTO for this. Now I can't take
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: my actual vacation.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Literally, I was.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Going I was going to the beach on this summer.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. This dude was the marketing director
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and he still managed to run a full blown campaign
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: for bad decisions.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: My gosh, the director too.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: It's crazy, yeah for real, like integrating.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that's what gave him the idea that he
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: was entitled to the car. Yeah, I'm the director. Run
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: here can take yeah, yeah, Before we dive back into
• 7:22

  Speaker 1: Go to bchecks dot io. That's BC h ex dot io.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: All right, who's up, Morgan?
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I think you're yes, I think that's me.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: My first story is titled the employee with a new
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: illness every time she got caught. So before we got
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: security cameras, we went through this weird stretch where money
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: just kept disappearing, not a ton, just enough to make
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: you question your sanity. We had a pretty good idea
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: on who it was, but this woman, she was good.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Every time she got close to being caught, she'd hit
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: us with a brand new medical crisis. One week it
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: was migrains, next week surgery, then some mystery illness nobody
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: could even pronounce. At first, everybody felt bad for her
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: until she hit like diagnose number five. Then the sympathy
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: tank ran dry. But the real breaking point a client
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: storms into our office furious says, if we don't fire her,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: they're pulling all their business. And that's when we knew
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: something was way off. So we started digging, and boom,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: she got a history. Turns out she'd been stealing money
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: and credit card numbers from other employers for years and
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: she was never charged and she never apologized, and she
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: would just pay a little back and move on to
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the next job. So she was a professional scam artist
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: pretty much. And we finally let her go and guess what,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: money stopped disappearing immediately, So my story was solved. But
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: here's the wildest part. She reapplies later with the resume
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: so fake it could have been from fan fiction. She
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: listed responsibilities that didn't even exist. One of them was
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: literally my job, like, ma'am, you do not run the company.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: The same company? Yes, and put her responsibilities from her
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: previous job. Then she like them all up.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Was why was the fifth diagnosis last straw. I don't
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: know the third one or even the fourth one. It
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: took five and for them to be like, Okay, yeah,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: she's she's lying.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Literally, she went from Sick Day queen to true crime
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: series real quick. Honestly, the only thing she didn't seal
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: was the security cameras because we wouldn't have bought them yet.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: So right, all right.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: My next one is titled The Guy Who Lost It
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: All to Clash of Clans. About five years ago, I
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: had this guy working night shift at my gas station,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: and honestly, for the first year he was gold, showed
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: up early, never complained, played to customers, and the kind
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: of employee you wish you could clone. Then one day
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: things start to change. It all started with a phone
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: game Clash of Clans. At first, I figured, hey, everyone
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: scrolls on their phone on the night shift, so no
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: big deal whatever. But soon it wasn't just checking his phone,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: it was a relationship. I'd walk in at two am
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: for a spot check and there he was leaned over
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: the counter, face lit up by that blue screen globe,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: completely locked in on his imaginary army. Customers would walk
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: in for gas, cigarettes, coffee, and he wouldn't even look up,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: just mumble ring them up without eye contact and go
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: back to the next battle. I pulled him aside and
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: told him, listen, play all the you want when it's dead,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: but when a customer walks in the game is over,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: that they come first. So he apologized, he swore he'd stop,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: and next night, same thing, same glow, same game, same neglect.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: It was like trying to break up a man in
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: his digital army. Eventually I had to let him go.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: I told him straight up, if you can't put the
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: game down, you just can't work here. And I thought
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that was the end of it until a few days later,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: his mom shows up at the gas station.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: She is so funny.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Literally literally, Yeah, It's like it's like your mom showing
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: up at school when your at attention. She looked exhausted, pale,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: eyes red from crying, and she asked if we can
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: talk privately? Also, where do you talk privately in a
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: gas station? I just want to know. She had just
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: gotten out of the hotspital after a long stay, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: while she was gone, her son had spiraled. Turns out
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: he wasn't just playing Clash of Clans. He was paying
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: for Clash of Clans, every upgrade, every short cut was
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: real money. By the time she found out, he had
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: racked up over thousands in credit card debt, oh thousands
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: of dollars on a phone game and it was all
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: put on his mom's credit card.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: That's crazy. I won't even pay for an app on
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: the ass.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: No free, I'm not getting literally literally, it was all
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: about literally, I'm on a budget. I'm not paying for
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: all these apps.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I just sat there in silence.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I was thinking he was lazy, but really he was
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: drowning in an addiction that looked like a hobby and
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: no one took it seriously until it ruined him. He
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: lost his job, his credit, everything all over a glowing
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: screen at two am. And I'll never forget his mom's
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: face head day now. Every time I see an ad
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: for Clash of Clans, I think about him and how
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: some battles you don't fight on a phone you fight
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: in real life. And I think also his mom had
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: like cancer or something, and she was like needing to
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: pay that hospital bill, which is why she was in
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: the hospital, and she couldn't. Addiction is real, Yeah, she couldn't,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: So she showed up to the gas.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those those apps, those games are built like to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: draw you in. It is like an addiction, like a dopamine,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: you know, bring you right to the edge. Now you
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: can't win, you know, you got to buy something to
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: get to the next level.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: It's like Fortnite.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I need v books, I need them please.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't know. I feel I feel bad
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: for them. I do.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I feel bad for Yeah, I feel bad for the mom.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: I mean imagine like you get the hospital.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you the employee bad over a game. Yeah, it
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: happens all the time. You know, good employees go bad
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: because I get into make bad decisions a lot of times.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: It is addiction, you know. So, but addiction to a game,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I have you guys ever played Gardenscapes, But I know
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: what it is. That is an addictive game. That is like,
• 14:14

• 14:17
  Speaker 3: I got addiction to that game because you get like,

• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Just go straight into it.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: I wasn't in HR exactly what I did training. This
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: one woman was late all the time and got into
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: arguments with everyone. One day, I was teaching her something
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: and she looked at me and said, no, this isn't possible.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I told her.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: I wasn't expecting her to get it on the first try,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: and we were here to practice as much as she wanted.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: From that moment on, she turned evil on me, would
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: completely ignore me when I would talk to her. She
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: told everyone ridiculous things about me, and they respond like, really,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: that doesn't sound like them at all.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Are you sure? You sure you're talking about the right person.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: One day she called in and said everyone at the
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: store was against her and that she wouldn't be back.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: That's it, y'a.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: You don't like that I tell lies about other people,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: by y'all?
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: What's so funny coming back? Yeah?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Real?
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Oh please don't leave, Please don't leave. What will we
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: do without you?
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: There are people like that though.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's crazy, grown people too grown looking the play.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: As a job, I know.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: But still.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: You find out these are a bunch of sixteen years
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: at the chick fil a.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, here's my last one for today. In
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: my industry, there's an infamous story about a guy we'll
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: call him Rob. He was chosen to represent his company
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: at prestigious week long gala five star hotels, open bars, networking,
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: with the top leaders a huge honor. Rob treated it
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: like a frat party. He drank non stop, embarrassed himself
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: by lecturing the very people who had built the systems
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: he was bragging about. Then he disappeared to his hotel room.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: The next morning, co workers found him tied to his bed,
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: not clothed. Turns out he called an escort passed out
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: drunk before anything had happened, and she cleaned him out
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: to stole his wallet, his clothes, the TV in the
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: hotel room before tying him up and then leaving.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: She saw an opportunity and she took it.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: His company had to pay the hotel for all the
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: missing items, and Rob's career never recovered.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: It is crazy how people treat these conferences like they're
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: like a weekend party. Yeah, it is insane. Like I
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: feel like I've been to some sometimes where I'm like,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: we are professionals, y'all, like, what what are we doing?
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: You surround and you see it so often of people
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: who who I don't know. It's it's like they get
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: away and I think there's a different set of rules apply. Yeah,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I don't. Necessarily, I don't think alcohol and is great
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: in these occasions. Yeah, yeah, you know, I don't. I don't.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I don't like to drink what I'm around anything like that. Yeah,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: just because you just lose a little bit of your senses,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: you say stuff you wouldn't normally. And in my career
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen a couple of people completely explode
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: their career because they had too much drink conference.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Especially if they're like leading the event like in this story,
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: like it was supposed to be a huge honor for him.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like that's and it's not like even
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: that sounds like not even social drinking, like where you
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: just have to have one drink and you're talking, you know,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: just because it's like a norm around everybody, and this
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: is completely different. This guy was getting beligerently drunk, obviously
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: enough to the point where he hired an escort.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so gotta have great policies on that and just
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: really really encourage people to.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he got fired, Like there's no way he didn't.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Said his career never recovered.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, well, great, great jobs. Those were fun. Yeah,
• 19:37
